GPU-Oriented Algorithms for Continuous Energy Monte Carlo Neutron Transport by Ridley, Gavin

“…Adapting a full-physics, continuous energy MC neutron transport simulation for GPUs is a feat only completed by a few institutions across the world, so we share some software development tricks that facilitated this task. We then identify a variety of algorithmic optimizations that improved the performance of the baseline CUDA application, and identify areas for further development. 3 Based on experience adapting a full-physics continuous energy MC code for GPU, we identify two pieces of the simulation which can be improved for GPU computing: resonance upscatter handling and unresolved resonance modeling. …”

PESI: paratope-epitope set interaction for SARS-CoV-2 neutralization prediction by Wan, Zhang, Lin, Zhuoyi, Rashid, Shamima, Ng, Shaun Yue Hao, Yin, Rui, Senthilnath, J., Kwoh, Chee Keong

“…Despite LLM's success, incorporating full-length Fv sequences suffers from: 1) inaccurate sequence-level labels in existing datasets, 2) inefficient modeling due to noisy non-contributing motifs, and 3) ignorance of non-bonded interactions that play a key role in facilitating epitope-paratope pairing. In this paper, we propose a novel approach that incorporates only the paratope and epitope for antibody-antigen neutralization prediction while adopting a novel set modeling that regards the paratope and epitope as bags of residues. …”
